September 11 was the culmination of decades of anti-American terrorism that, until the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, had not been felt on American soil. This book examines the response of the U.S. media, public, and decision makers to major acts of anti-American terrorism during the period from 1979-1994. Focusing on events abroad, such as the Iranian hostage crisis and the downing of Pan Am Flight 103, Nacos describes how terrorists successfully manipulate the linkages between the news media, public opinion, and presidential decision making through the staging of violent spectaculars.  A preface examines the dilemmas faced by the government and media in response to domestic terrorism perpetrated by Americans against Americans in 1995. Nacos argues that government acquiescence to mass-media pressure in the wake of the Oklahoma City Bombing, as well as the media's agonizing decision to publish the Unabomber's 35,000-word manifesto, represented a victory for terrorism that could only encourage more terrorism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49620887961873,"sku":"GOR005691013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346097410321,"sku":"CIN0231100159G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231100159.jpg?v=1751101244"},{"product_id":"terrorism-and-counterterrorism-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9780205743278","title":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism","description":"Focusing on the phenomenon of terrorism in the post-9\/11 era, Terrorism and Counterterrorism investigates this form of political violence in an international and American context and in light of new and historical trends.

Drawing on in-depth analysis of counterterrorism in the years after 9\/11 - including the issuance of terror alerts and the decision to invade Iraq - the authors present a compelling case that the Bush administration hyped fear, while obscuring civil liberties abuses and concrete issues of preparedness. The media, meanwhile, largely abdicated its watchdog role, choosing to amplify the administration's message while downplaying issues that might have called the administration's statements and strategies into question. The book extends through Hurricane Katrina, and the more skeptical coverage that followed, then the first year of the Obama administration, when an increasingly partisan political environment presented the media, and the public, with new problems of reporting and interpretation. \"Selling Fear\" is a hard-hitting analysis of the intertwined failures of government and media - and their costs to our nation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346880991505,"sku":"CIN0226567192VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226567192.jpg?v=1750909139"},{"product_id":"terrorism-and-counterterrorism-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9781032264745","title":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism","description":"Focusing on the continued terrorist threat by jihadist groups, such as Al Qaeda and ISIS, and homegrown violent far-right and far-left extremists in the West, Terrorism and Counterterrorism investigates this form of political violence in a historical and contemporary context.

New to the 7th Edition          The new chapter 3 reviews the history of terrorism—both domestic and international, whereas the new chapter 4 analyses the terrorist landscape in the third decade of the 21st century—including the transnational links between violent far-right and far-left violent extremists.       The discussion of religious terrorism in chapter 5 ends with an added section about QAnon as religiopolitical cult.      An extended section in chapter 7 is devoted to the increasingly militant roles of females in violent far-right extremism.      The revised chapter 10 starts with the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops from Afghanistan and an account of total costs spent on the post-9\/11 war against terrorism before discussing the counterterrorism strategies of presidents G.W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.      The failures and successes of the U.S. intelligence community in efforts to prevent terrorism at home with relevant data and case studies are new features in chapter 12.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50698773299473,"sku":"NGR9781032264745","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017526444305,"sku":"NIN9781032264745","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148775387409,"sku":"NLS9781032264745","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032264748.jpg?v=1751014883"},{"product_id":"terrorism-and-counterterrorism-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9781032266527","title":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism","description":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism introduces students to the field's main debates and helps them critically address this complex and enduring issue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51017602564369,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017604727057,"sku":"NIN9781032266527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52586082271505,"sku":"NLS9781032266527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/103226652X.jpg?v=1750983639"},{"product_id":"terrorism-and-counterterrorism-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9781032264622","title":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism","description":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism introduces students to the field's main debates and helps them critically address this complex and enduring issue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017830629649,"sku":"NIN9781032264622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51454221189393,"sku":"CIN1032264624G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52074136109329,"sku":"CIN1032264624VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52586093773073,"sku":"NLS9781032264622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032264624.jpg?v=1751111527"},{"product_id":"terrorism-and-counterterrorism-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9780205005802","title":"Terrorism and Counterterrorism","description":"Focusing on the phenomenon of terrorism in the post-9\/11 era, Terrorism and Counterterrorism investigates this form of political violence in an international and American context and in light of new and historical trends.  In this comprehensive and highly readable book, Brigitte Nacos, a renowned expert in the field, clearly defines terrorism’s diverse causes, actors, and strategies, outlines anti- and counter-terrorist responses, and highlights terrorism’s relationship with the media and the public.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51152535060753,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51152535879953,"sku":"GOR011265787","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51738054492433,"sku":"CIN0205005802G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53545399976209,"sku":"CIN0205005802VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0205005802.jpg?v=1750812866"},{"product_id":"press-presidents-and-crises-book-brigitte-l-nacos-9780231070645","title":"The Press, Presidents, and Crises","description":"'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53241070911761,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53241071468817,"sku":"CIN0231070640G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780231070645.jpg?v=1773271338"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-brigitte-l-nacos.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
